The Mountain Goats — Wait for You

[Verse 1] When it came time to wait for you I took the bus to Malibu Found a café by the ocean Watched the sky for signs [Chorus] And a rainbow in the west Wrapped its coils around the earth like a serpent I felt like I was going to suffocate [Verse 2] But I knew this was not the day You would finally come my way But I waited all the same Watched the water through the window [Chorus] And a rainbow in the west Held its head beneath the waves and grew dimmer Nothing anyone could do I suppose
